ALPHi exists to make the Internet of Things (IoT) useful in the real world. We focus on practical systems that deliver usable intelligence, avoiding unnecessary complexity, poorly integrated technology, or data that never translates into action. Our systems are built to operate reliably within existing operations and to deliver value long after deployment.
ALPHi is led by people who design, deploy, and operate the systems we deliver. Decisions are made with technical context, operational experience, and long-term responsibility in mind – not passed between sales, delivery, and support teams.
Clients work directly with the people accountable for their systems, ensuring clarity, continuity, and a genuinely hands-on service.
Phil leads ALPHi’s strategy, product direction, and client engagement. With experience across IoT platforms, digital mapping, and data-led systems, he focuses on shaping solutions that are practical, well-integrated, and designed to deliver long-term operational value.
Alan is responsible for ALPHi’s technical architecture, platform engineering, and system reliability. He oversees how systems are designed, built, and operated, with a strong focus on robustness, performance, and maintainability at scale.
ALPHi was formed in response to a recurring pattern across industries: IoT systems that look compelling in proposals but struggle to deliver sustained operational value. Projects are often driven by technology first, with unclear objectives, fragmented ownership, or limited long-term support.
The result is disconnected dashboards, underused data, and systems that become maintenance burdens rather than decision tools.
ALPHi was established to take a more disciplined approach. Every deployment begins with operational clarity: what needs to be measured, why it matters, and how the insight will be used. From there, systems are designed to integrate cleanly, operate reliably, and remain supported over time.
The goal is not more data. The goal is better decisions.
ALPHi is structured around ongoing responsibility. Systems are not handed over and forgotten; they are monitored, refined, and supported as requirements evolve.
This model avoids the common divide between installation and operation. The same standards applied during system design are carried forward into monitoring, maintenance, and optimisation.
That continuity ensures:
IoT only works when it is maintained as part of operations, not treated as a one-off project.
ALPHi works with organisations that depend on stable operations and clear, dependable information. Our systems can be deployed in environments where performance, continuity, and accountability are critical, including facilities, public-sector, manufacturing, agriculture, cultural institutions, hospitality, and commercial property.
We are typically engaged where IoT needs to integrate cleanly into existing systems, operate securely, and deliver measurable operational benefit over time.
If you’re exploring how sensor data could support efficiency, compliance, sustainability, or asset management, we’re ready to have that conversation.
If you’d like to explore how IoT could support your organisation, we’d be pleased to talk through your objectives and operational challenges. No jargon, no sales pitch – just a practical discussion about what’s achievable and what genuinely adds value.
